Getting Beyond Inertia
Often, I sit at my desk to write an article, send an email or simply check out a bunch of interesting websites. Instead of being filled with inspiration and enthusiasm, I feel tired and lazy. It is as if checking out one more website is going to wear me out. These are things that I actually care about, yet I still feel the resistance to action throughout my body.
I have learned that fighting this resistance only brings up more struggles and often will lead to undesirable results and tension in my body. So force doesn’t work. Power is the other choice, but how do I tap that into that part of my consciousness that actually DOES want the results that completion would bring? How do I quiet that noisy left brain long enough for my right brain to get into the game?
Perhaps it is a matter of tapping into the imagination and FEELING the results that I desire, rather than feeling and FEEDING the inertia. For instance, if I write and post my blog on time, more people are likely to read it, sign up as a follower (hint, hint) and hear the message. Having people create value from my work makes me happy. Or if I look at a pile of websites for design details, then my web designer will be able to understand more of what I want. And having a great website will make me very happy.
I know that every time I have a thought that I am creating a reality to go with that thought. So now I have to simply dig a little deeper to the find the thought – and the physical sensation – that will let me get into action and move toward my dreams. Not out of force and a sense of “should”, but from joy and excitement in creating the reality that I want to live.
